Globe Media Solutions

The Company

Globe Media Solutions Limited was established as a value-add service provider to the media industry by enhancing real-time news content with location context.  In doing so, Globe Media Solutions provides a variety of services and solutions as part of the news generation process. Additionally, Globe Media Solutions has developed solutions that leverage location based news to provide enhanced situational awareness for users through pervasive globe viewer technologies.

The use of standards, both in the global news media content domain and in the map visualization field, are essential to the success of Globe Media Solutions services. NewsML, GeoRSS, and KML are a few of the standards adopted within the solutions leveraging location based news.

Currently, Public Safety and Security agencies are required to have greater situational awareness and to respond, ever more effectively, to emergency or crisis situations. This makes the accurate location of information arriving to the operation commanders decision support systems more necessary than ever. This new capability allows decision makers to focus on interpreting the meaning of the information not spending precious time trying to figure where the information is referring to.

As our company looks to the future, location based news will play an exciting role in the connecting of our growing online social communities, making geography and place the basis from which both the real and virtual worlds converge.
